“The year 2018 means very good sales; wood means influence… you also have to see whether the hour, the day, the month, and the year is compatible with you,” Allen says during the 13th Philippine Feng Shui Convention, held at the Marco Polo Hotel, in the Quezon City district of Ortigas, on Saturday, January 6.

Reflecting on the distinctive characteristics of dogs, which are known to be determined, reliable, and true to their words by most pet owners, Allen says the year also represents a big boulder or mountain. The last Year of the Earth Dog occurred six decades ago and was marked with significant political events, numerous innovations in science and technology, and phenomenal episodes in the entertainment industry.

Interestingly, 1898, which Allen also cited as a year of the dog, played a momentous role in the liberation of the Philippines from its prime colonizer, Spain.
